    I've created a custom folder called maps in my plugins/DvZ/ directory. I put two maps in there, tell the plugin to grab a random world from the folder and load it, which it does, however, it is not loading the actual world files from the maps folder, just a new world with the folder name being the map name. What do I need to do?

    A snippet of my code is below, the code provided is in my onEnable.

    Code:
    if (!(mapsFolder.exists())) {
                System.out.println("Maps folder not found! Creating maps folder...");
                mapsFolder.mkdir();
            }
            else {
                System.out.println("Maps folder found!");
            }
    
            for (File file : mapsFolder.listFiles()) {
                if (file.isDirectory()) {
                    worldNames.add(file.getName());
                }
            }
    
            randomWorld = random.nextInt(worldNames.size());
            world = this.getServer().createWorld(new WorldCreator(worldNames.get(randomWorld)));
            this.getServer().unloadWorld("world", false);
            this.getLogger().info("Loaded map: " + worldNames.get(randomWorld));

    @voltywolty You are creating a new world from the file, not loading it.

    I thought createWorld will also load a world if it’s there. How can I load a world from custom folder?

    Yes, from the server directory, not your plugin's directory.

    I don't think you can do that with the Bukkit API, but you might be able to do something using NMS.

    Sorry, what’s NMS?

    NMS is an abbreviation of "net.minecraft.server" and is the source code of the Minecraft server.
    Bukkit is an API for NMS, but it doesn't allow you to do everything you can do with pure NMS.

    Was told to not use NMS. Any other options anyone?

    If NMS cannot do it, then it's impossible. Bukkit is just an API for NMS.

    What about it not being in a custom directory? Could I still get the world names from the world folders inside the normal directory and have it get loaded randomly?

    @voltywolty So you just want to load a random world? If that's the case, then yeah, you don't need a custom directory at all.

    I’ll just do that instead. How do I get the directory of the folder with the server.jar

    @voltywolty There is a pretty useful method for that. Here is the Javadoc link.

    Ah okay, I got it. The thing is, it isn't teleporting the player to the current world.

    Code:
    @EventHandler
        private void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
            Player player = event.getPlayer();
            player.teleport(newWorld.getSpawnLocation());
        }

    @voltywolty You might have to delay it by a tick. Use a BukkitRunnable for that.
